Late 11th - early 13th c.

Fragment of a quite thick green monochrome tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut downward. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The front surface almost completely peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is even and smooth.
